EPISODE 1: RISE OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE
Two thousand years ago, one civilisation held the entire Western world in its grasp. From Northern Europe to Africa and the Middle East. It imposed laws, ideas and a single language. Rome was the super power of the ancient world. Indeed later super powers never stopped learning the lessons of her spectacular rise and fall. Rome truly was a colossal empire. During the rise of the Roman Empire, it was not always easy to separate virtue from vice, or hero from villain. Indeed, all too often, they were one and the same. Rome was still an adolescent discovering who it wanted to be, and its dream of greatness was a prlude to a nightmare. It was not for another 100 years that the state would mature and commit to one enduring view of itself. It would be the army, more than any other force that was destined to shape Rome's lasting identity.

In which John Green explores exactly when Rome went from being the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire. Here's a hint: it had something to do with Julius Caesar, but maybe less than you think. Find out how Caesar came to rule the empire, what led to him getting stabbed 23 times on the floor of the senate, and what happened in the scramble for power after his assassination. John covers Rome's transition from city-state to dominant force in the Mediterranean in less than 12 minutes. Well, Rome's expansion took hundreds of years, he just explains it in under 12 minutes. The senate, the people, Rome, the caesarian section, the Julian calendar and our old friend Pompey all make appearances, but NOT the Caesar Salad, as Julius had nothing to do with it.

The Roman Empire - Episode 3: Seduction of Power (HistoryDocumentary)
Two thousand years ago, one civilisation held the entire Western world in its grasp. From Northern Europe to Africa, it imposed laws, ideas and a single language. Rome was the super power and a colossal empire.
Travel back in time and experience the exporting of the Roman world through the glory years of conquest to the longest period of stability the world has ever known.
EPISODE 3: SEDUCTION OF POWER
Rome seemed to own the world. Her empire stretched from Scotland to the Sahara. Her army controlled three continents. Fifty million people lived under her laws. Rome's Empire was the greatest political prize the world had ever seen. "Seduction of Power" is the story of those who would do anything to win it. The same political system that had created the magnificent monuments of the Roman Empire, the Pantheon, the Coliseum, the Forum and provided "bread and circuses" for all, would prove a breeding ground fo self-interest, assassination and civil wars. The same highly-disciplined Legions that had conquered an area of more than two million square miles would desolve into warring factions, be turned against Rome's own citizenry and in the end, prove unable to maintain the expanse of its conquests.

(The Roman Empire didn't have official national flag and anthem)
In spite of the purported lack of musical originality on the part of the Romans, they did enjoy music greatly and used it for many activities.
Military music was used in parades, ceremonies and processions. Music was used to control troops on the battlefield. Music was also used in religious ceremonies, gladiator contests and events in the arena. The Romans cultivated music as a sign of education.
Roman-style musical instruments are found in parts of the Empire where they did not originate, and indicate that music was among the aspects of Roman culture that spread throughout the provinces.
Wind instruments:
The Roman tuba was a long, straight bronze trumpet
The cornu (Latin "horn") was a long tubular metal wind instrument that curved around the musician's body
The tibia (Greek aulos - αὐλός), usually double, had two double-reed (as in a modern oboe) pipes
String instruments:
The lyre, borrowed from the Greeks
The cithara was the premier musical instrument of ancient Rome and was played both in popular and elevated forms of music
The lute (pandura or monochord) was known by several names among the Greeks and Romans
Organs:
The hydraulic pipe organ (hydraulis), which worked by water pressure.The hydraulis accompanied gladiator contests in the arena
Percussion:
Drum and percussion instruments like timpani and castanets, the Egyptian sistrum, and brazen pans
The sistrum was a rattle consisting of rings strung across the cross-bars of a metal frame
Cymbala (Lat. plural of cymbalum, from the Greek kymbalon) were small cymbals: metal discs used in pairs
hinged wooden or metal device (called a scabellum) "clapper", also, there were various rattles, bells and tambourines

Legend has it that Rome was founded by Romulus and Remus, two brothers who had been raised by a wolf. But that's just a legend ...
Rome was founded almost 2800 years ago with the union of several villages in Italy. At first it was a monarchy, those who commanded were the kings, but later it became a republic. Do you know what that is? A republic is a form of government where there are no kings but politicians make the decisions they think are convenient. The Republic of Rome lasted several centuries until about two thousand years ago when, what we know as the Roman Empire, began. In an Empire, all power is in the hands of an emperor who is like a King of kings.
The Romans conquered all the nations of the Mediterranean: Greece, Egypt, Syria, France, Germany and also the Iberian and Celtic people of Hispania. They even arrived in Britannia, now known as England. But…
How did the Romans live?
Roman society was divided into several groups. The patricians were the nobles, they had a lot of power. They were politicians and military men, rich and powerful. Below them were the plebeians, the people. They were farmers, artisans and workers in general. And finally, in the lowest part were the slaves, who used to be prisoners of war.
War was a very important activity for the Romans. Their armies were huge and formed by fearsome soldiers called legionaries. Thanks to them they conquered all corners of the Mediterranean.
The Romans were also great engineers and architects and created very orderly cities with many amenities. They had aqueducts to carry water from one place to another, bridges to cross rivers, circuses, theatres, spas and schools! Roman children went to school, like us! They also built roads, which were roads that made it easier to get from one side of the Empire to the other.
The Roman Empire ended in the fifth century when the Germans invaded Rome. It was at that very moment, with the fall of the Empire, when the Middle Ages began. but that's another story. As we always tell you, it is very important to know the past, to understand the present and improve the future, do not you think?

EPISODE 6: THE FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE
Rome's glory had shone for a thousand years. The Roman Empire had united all lands from Spain to Syrhia, created more prosperity, more stability and more peace than the Western world had ever seen - nothing lasts forever. In the3rd Century AD, civil war engulfed the empire. Chaos and corruption undermined it from within and from every direction Rome's enemies gathered for the kill. By the end of the 4th century, the Roman Empire was nothing more than a fragile military machine that was no match for the invading barbarians. The inevitable occurred in 410 AD when Rome, the historic heart of the Empire, was sacked. As the Vandals stormed the city they were shocked at what they found. Gone were the crowds of the Golden Age. An eerie silence greeted the warriors as they wandered the same streets that their ancestors had walked down in chains 150 years earlier. The inhabitants of Rome, with their empire crumbling, had been chased away, the glory that had been Rome's was of another day.

The same highly-disciplined Legions that had conquered an area of more than two million square miles would desolve into warring factions, be turned against Rome's own citizenry and in the end, prove unable to maintain the expanse of its conquests.

(The Roman Empire didn't have official national flag and anthem)
In spite of the purported lack of musical originality on the part of the Romans, they did enjoy music greatly and used it for many activities.
Military music was used in parades, ceremonies and processions. Music was used to control troops on the battlefield. Music was also used in religious ceremonies, gladiator contests and events in the arena. The Romans cultivated music as a sign of education.
Roman-style musical instruments are found in parts of the Empire where they did not originate, and indicate that music was among the aspects of Roman culture that spread throughout the provinces.
Wind instruments:
The Roman tuba was a long, straight bronze trumpet
The cornu (Latin "horn") was a long tubular metal wind instrument that curved around the musician's body
The tibia (Greek aulos - αὐλός), usually double, had two double-reed (as in a modern oboe) pipes
String instruments:
The lyre, borrowed from the Greeks
The cithara was the premier musical instrument of ancient Rome and was played both in popular and elevated forms of music
The lute (pandura or monochord) was known by several names among the Greeks and Romans
Organs:
The hydraulic pipe organ (hydraulis), which worked by water pressure.The hydraulis accompanied gladiator contests in the arena
Percussion:
Drum and percussion instruments like timpani and castanets, the Egyptian sistrum, and brazen pans
The sistrum was a rattle consisting of rings strung across the cross-bars of a metal frame
Cymbala (Lat. plural of cymbalum, from the Greek kymbalon) were small cymbals: metal discs used in pairs
hinged wooden or metal device (called a scabellum) "clapper", also, there were various rattles, bells and tambourines

Legend has it that Rome was founded by Romulus and Remus, two brothers who had been raised by a wolf. But that's just a legend ...
Rome was founded almost 2800 years ago with the union of several villages in Italy. At first it was a monarchy, those who commanded were the kings, but later it became a republic. Do you know what that is? A republic is a form of government where there are no kings but politicians make the decisions they think are convenient. The Republic of Rome lasted several centuries until about two thousand years ago when, what we know as the Roman Empire, began. In an Empire, all power is in the hands of an emperor who is like a King of kings.
The Romans conquered all the nations of the Mediterranean: Greece, Egypt, Syria, France, Germany and also the Iberian and Celtic people of Hispania. They even arrived in Britannia, now known as England. But…
How did the Romans live?
Roman society was divided into several groups. The patricians were the nobles, they had a lot of power. They were politicians and military men, rich and powerful. Below them were the plebeians, the people. They were farmers, artisans and workers in general. And finally, in the lowest part were the slaves, who used to be prisoners of war.
War was a very important activity for the Romans. Their armies were huge and formed by fearsome soldiers called legionaries. Thanks to them they conquered all corners of the Mediterranean.
The Romans were also great engineers and architects and created very orderly cities with many amenities. They had aqueducts to carry water from one place to another, bridges to cross rivers, circuses, theatres, spas and schools! Roman children went to school, like us! They also built roads, which were roads that made it easier to get from one side of the Empire to the other.
The Roman Empire ended in the fifth century when the Germans invaded Rome. It was at that very moment, with the fall of the Empire, when the Middle Ages began. but that's another story. As we always tell you, it is very important to know the past, to understand the present and improve the future, do not you think?

EPISODE 6: THE FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE
Rome's glory had shone for a thousand years. The Roman Empire had united all lands from Spain to Syrhia, created more prosperity, more stability and more peace than the Western world had ever seen - nothing lasts forever. In the3rd Century AD, civil war engulfed the empire. Chaos and corruption undermined it from within and from every direction Rome's enemies gathered for the kill. By the end of the 4th century, the Roman Empire was nothing more than a fragile military machine that was no match for the invading barbarians. The inevitable occurred in 410 AD when Rome, the historic heart of the Empire, was sacked. As the Vandals stormed the city they were shocked at what they found. Gone were the crowds of the Golden Age. An eerie silence greeted the warriors as they wandered the same streets that their ancestors had walked down in chains 150 years earlier. The inhabitants of Rome, with their empire crumbling, had been chased away, the glory that had been Rome's was of another day.

EPISODE 1: RISE OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE
Two thousand years ago, one civilisation held the entire Western world in its grasp. From Northern Europe to Africa and the Middle East. It imposed laws, ideas and a single language. Rome was the super power of the ancient world. Indeed later super powers never stopped learning the lessons of her spectacular rise and fall. Rome truly was a colossal empire. During the rise of the Roman Empire, it was not always easy to separate virtue from vice, or hero from villain. Indeed, all too often, they were one and the same. Rome was still an adolescent discovering who it wanted to be, and its dream of greatness was a prlude to a nightmare. It was not for another 100 years that the state would mature and commit to one enduring view of itself. It would be the army, more than any other force that was destined to shape Rome's lasting identity.

The Roman Empire. Or Republic. Or...Which Was It?: Crash Course World History #10

In which John Green explores exactly when Rome went from being the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire. Here's a hint: it had something to do with Julius Caesar, but maybe less than you think. Find out how Caesar came to rule the empire, what led to him getting stabbed 23 times on the floor of the senate, and what happened in the scramble for power after his assassination. John covers Rome's transition from city-state to dominant force in the Mediterranean in less than 12 minutes. Well, Rome's expansion took hundreds of years, he just explains it in under 12 minutes. The senate, the people, Rome, the caesarian section, the Julian calendar and our old friend Pompey all make appearances, but NOT the Caesar Salad, as Julius had nothing to do with it.

EPISODE 3: SEDUCTION OF POWER
Rome seemed to own the world. Her empire stretched from Scotland to the Sahara. Her army controlled three continents. Fifty million people lived under her laws. Rome's Empire was the greatest political prize the world had ever seen. "Seduction of Power" is the story of those who would do anything to win it.
